Ferris wheel

Description

It's a Ferris Wheel, pure and simple. With no extra features to distinguish it, this ride was usually without riders when it opened at Thorpe Park, under the name Eclipse. However, it fits in rather nicely at Chessington and, while not the most creatively ambitious ride, does offer yet another attraction for families to experience together.

Classic Ferris Wheel - You can easly go there 'cause this ride is almost always empty. - Fabio Soldani

You only get one circuit on this ferris wheel, it seems (at least when I rode it). What the hell? - Chuck Campbell
